I passed my viva last Wednesday (it's been a whole week already). Despite my fears that my examiners were going to shred up my thesis, my examination went extremely pleasantly. It was almost like an extended discussion than what I'd imagined a thesis defense would be like. Both my examiners were very pleased and I passed with minor corrections, mostly typos, and clarification.

I was gonna post a bit on the content, but one chapter is almost ready to submit so I think I'll hold on to that until things are a bit more definite...

About Me

I am a postdoctoral research associate in palaeontology at the University of Bristol. My current project involves the phylogeny and evolution of living and fossil cats, but I also have a strong interest in theropod dinosaurs. I use this blog to discuss interesting aspects of palaeontology, whether it be the science, or palaeo art - the latter simply posting my own drawings.
